IGN's Best of 2015 Wiki Guide

Best TV Hero

Ash Williams is back after two decades, and just because he's older doesn't mean he's any less badass. This is a bit of a different Ash than fans have come to love over the years, but the TV format of Ash vs. Evil Dead allows viewers to get to know him better -- and showcase what a great hero he is.

Daredevil has some of the best fighting skills on TV, and he's got a good cause behind his violence. The character is straight-forward in his desire to do good. It's the debate about what means can be used to bring that end that make him so interesting.

Few heroes -- super or otherwise -- take as much joy in being the good guys as Barry Allen does in being the Flash. This is a character who still carries darkness and doubt within him, but Grant Gustin plays him with such joy and energy that it's impossible not to be caught up in his excitement.

Jessica Jones is flawed and troubled and dark. She doesn't revel in having superpowers that could change the world. She doesn't do what's right for the sake of a higher calling. But she does do what's right because it's the only thing to do, both when the stakes are incredibly high and when the stakes are incredibly personal. She's one of the most complicated and engaging heroes to be depicted on TV.

There is no other hero on TV like Peggy Carter. The titular star of Agent Carter has the odds stacked against her in the male-dominated '40s, but every hurdle isn't a setback for her, and she doggedly pursues the respect she knows she deserves. Beyond being a hero, Peggy is a great role model for everyone.
